Ramah in the Rockies: where BELONGING is at the core of everything we do!

by Talia Horowitz, Director of Camp Wellness When campers and staff talk about the “camp bubble,” it’s a loving acknowledgement of the intense and immersive experience of being held together in a protective membrane apart from the rest of the world. It’s within the “camp bubble” that real magic can happen; where young people get […]

2024 We Asked, You Shared, We Listened

Dear Ramah in the Rockies Community, Over the last six weeks, our team has heard feedback from hundreds of chalutzim (campers), parents, and tzevet (staff) and read the comments received by email and in our camper satisfaction survey. We are grateful for the insight and suggestions you shared, and we use your feedback to continue to improve our program […]

Purim 2024: Look who’s coming to Ramah

This has been a challenging year. The annual fees of many elite credit cards have increased while the benefits have been reduced; no longer can a Delta Amex Platinum card holder buy a day pass into a Sky Club or even a Centurion Lounge. All three legacy carriers redid their frequent flier programs requiring much […]

We Asked, You Shared, We Listened

Dear Ramah in the Rockies Kehillah, While much of our work has pivoted to comfort and support our community during this heartbreaking time, we recognize the importance of continuing to prepare for our 2024 season.

Summer 2023 Reflections

Dear Ramah in the Rockies community,

I woke up today to the sound of silence. Usually that would sound like heaven, but after ten weeks of awakening every day to the sounds of chalutzim (campers) and tzevet (staff) busily preparing for their day, it seemed unnatural not to hear children running to the bathhouse or playing ping-pong at Ohel Koby. This summer, over 550 youth joined us on our ranch, with as many as 340 members of our community here at one time. With our final tzevet departing in the coming hours, we will have to wait nearly ten months until our community is whole again. Though it is impossible to truly encapsulate what has happened this season, I hope to give you a taste of the energy present on our chava (ranch) this summer.

2023 Session I Reflections

Dear Ramah in the Rockies Community,

This morning I woke up to the light streaming through my window and to the sounds of chirping birds and rustling trees. I saw no campers playing along the road or in Ohel Koby, and no one was there to yell “Bo-bo-bo-boker Tov!” The blue sky and mountain air still greeted me when I opened my door, but I miss seeing the chalutzim (campers) bustling about, scurrying to the bathhouse or lounging at the picnic tables.
